Guus is such a legend and an obviously humble dude!

[@jacob-janvanrijn6785]

I love Guus random snack review, as well as his side quest adventures of course

[@killsweep4588]

gus is defo the best character

[@br3bid10]

"Fuck you., and fuck your feelings" Guus, 2023>_

[@chrisd2838]

Petition for just the next episode to only be about Gus and have everyone else as side characters 😂 I want him narrating the whole ep

[@b3ndavies]

Mad respect to the edit team who are absolutely smashing these videos out! 2-3 per week while on the road in constantly changing conditions is insane. Keep it up lads

[@Spartonification]

Love the Gus channel and mad respect to the ginger guy running somewhere

[@DeviateDefi4nt]

I wasn't sure on Gus for the first episode or two, but he quickly became the crew member I admire the most - such a great soul.

[@louise7552]

Me too. Love ❤️ his food, resourcefulness, generosity. Kindness, protection of the guys 😊.

[@ah3312]

Anyone else jealous that Russ gets to share a bed with Guus? On a more serious note....you've inspired me to get my backside moving again following a run walk program. Today, I completed my first 5k run in a few years and I'm very happy! Keep up the great work all of you!

[@SwoleakhulTheBlind]

Ghana lookin like a shout for visit. Amazing people taking care of Russ and the crew.

[@youme1414]

Nigerians are more friendly than Ghanaians. Ghana is only safer than Nigeria. That is all.

[@ThePowerPCHub]

Good to see Jamie asking Russ some running/training related Qs

[@simonsimo5801]

I agree!

[@dariocline]

Gustavo's inspirational talk moved me

[@tommy-g5k]

his name is guus haha

[@tommy-g5k]

it was very inspirstional though

[@mamamamamamamable]

@@tommy-g5k they call him gustavo all the time, as a joke obviously

[@binkybombastic6200]

Yes, Guus is very interesting to see! But I’d love to see more of Jamie, I feel like we don’t really get to know his personality? Also, would be cool to know if Harry is ever going to come back or not..

[@relaxingtimenow]

Wondering if we will ever get an ep about those few days in the jungle where he was taken captive. Understand they probably dont want to re-live that period but would love to know exactly what happened.

[@froghornleghorn]

That conversation between Russ and Rob was really interesting. Russ, I think the unique thing about you guys is not the idea to do it, i think loads of people dream about big adventures, but the unusual thing that you have is the belief in yourself that you can make it a reality. You make that leap from thinking it to doing it and that is the hardest step!

[@thomassutherland9396]

Russ if you’re using a garmin watch you should know that the temperature sensor is not accurate as it’s basically just picking up interference from body temperature…. There is a warning in the manual that says if you want to get an accurate temperature reading you should take the watch off and leave it 20 mins. Even here in Europe mine regularly reads 33-36 degrees.

[@williamroine]

All we need is more of Guus Random Snack Review. Hahaha love it 🙏

[@SerenityAusten]

I love that Guus has become the local food foodie

[@SerenityAusten]

I love that Guss has become the local food foodie

[@joelemmett3430]

As an American that has lived in Cape Coast this episode was special to watch. Keep stomping Russ 🇬🇭🙏

[@Nooticus]

I cant possibly think why you might’ve been there wearing a suit…

[@andor_yoko]

Guus's snack review must keep returning!

[@brammiejo]

This episode made me want to visit Ghana!

[@Nooticus]

One of my favourite episodes in a long time. Ada strongly reminded me of a few lovely Ghanaian people I used to know, one of whom literally changed my life. Love Ghanaian people so much.

[@addict2athlete]

Loving the series, it's been my favorite thing to watch recently. Epic challenge paired with great scenery, locals and of course the humour from the crew. You could maybe earn more from donations if you work on optimizing the SEO, things like tags and video descriptions would attact more viewers and donators. Could also apply for monetization and maybe donate that too. Good luck for the rest of the jouney!

[@meganmadigan4808]

One more for team Gus with his use of caravan. I use it to mean a chain of horses/camels/cars heading to same destination, not a camper van.

[@Simon-ku7ky]

Guus needs his own youtube channel after this, this whole journey from his point of view would of been classic sitcom levels.

[@MisterChappy]

the history lesson from guus was great

[@LuisAlkmim]

Guus boosted the production value of this series

[@dominicmcd1]

Colours on this video are gorgeous, Ghana vids have been the best so far!

[@anthea5799]

It’s actually so cool to see all the people you guys meet that also do similar things like bike the whole of Africa or even just overland! It’s amazing!

[@dennismoloney3780]

Love Guus' snack reviews and history lessons!

[@Vanatice]

youre the absolute goat Russ (and the rest) ❤❤

[@HareshillBoardingKennels]

indescribable how good this is 👍

[@kwametwumasi6036]

Great to have you GUUS 🎉 SEE YOU AGAIN SOON👋

[@brycedunlap]

I definitely need the "Russ & Gus" show after this. Rus Runs... Gus runs around doing random adventures....

[@SWatchik]

Ghana looks like such a chill place. Energy of the group seems so relaxed

[@JTrain8]

I knew a guy from Ghana and he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

[@ChrisWhatley]

Guus with the best quote at the end!!

[@louise7552]

Im checking to see if Guus has his own channel. Would love to see his adventures. Awesome man, such a genuine soul..😊😊

[@Phat_tony27]

Think I'm now coming back more for Guus 😂

[@BH-ix7nq]

Ghana looks like an absolute treat, wow

[@JARVART94]

“Fuck you fuck your feelings” 😂 Gus needs his own channel top guy

[@JamesChannon]

Amazing episode guys. The chat with the cyclist about what makes people do these challenges, Guus' history lesson, showing the local beauty and kindness, and the running chat at the end!

[@katyratcliffe5576]

That Rob guy is so cool. Huge fan.

[@Lukas-ri3le]

Man, Ghana looks sweet!

[@WilliamPreat]

legend

[@OthoBuilds]

1 million rasied Crazy Cragrats to Russ and team, 1s & 2s paid off!

[@Joe-nn1yo]

You absolute warrior mate, keep smashing that tarmac!!!!

[@deepdream468]

Great vibes in Ghana/this episode! Guus gets more legendary and hilarious every episode, please make the snack reviews an regular feature. I really think the £1,000,000 goal is achievable. It's a shame how little views and traction the series has still got though. Have you thought about reaching out to some of the content creatoes/"influencers" to collab or help promo the mission, or perhaps trying to get it picked up by main stream media? Only bits of critism, would have liked to have seen more footage of you guys devouring the KFC and enjoying some time chilling and bantering in the pool as you all more than deserved that (feel a bit sad Jared and Stan missed out on all that after the shit they've been through 😅) Thanks to the whole team. I actually have no doubt finally that Russ is really gonna do it and enjoy that strawberry daquari in Tunisia 👌

[@rhyshorton903]

Best video yet, vibes are immaculate.

[@pierskelly49]

The ferocity of this demon is unmatched 💪

[@TheCloudhopper]

I had the pleasure to work with a few Ghanese in my field and yes they were some of the most gentle, kind and considerate people I ever had the pleasure of working with. And they were very good at their job too.

[@damienkeena]

Wet myself at "Russ Cook at the back posssstt!!"

[@adamalilou]

Well done for completing it, I'm sure you're a little tired by now so have a nice rest.

[@davidwhite536]

Gus went from zero to hero! Keep it going Russ, legend!

[@some-guy-in-the-internet]

He was never a zero....

[@snipz127]

Man I might have to put Ghana on my bucket list of places to visit

[@jonkemp1265]

Can we have a gus describes random street food series when this is all done... legendary

[@pivotmaster861]

you really are the hardest geezer

[@juddadavis]

Guus is the Attenborough of this series. Respect the knowledge, sir🫡

[@Hassan123H]

This video has made me what to take my next holiday in Ghana

[@1996connor]

You're smashing it lad keep it going

[@Nerpo93]

Ghana seems like such a great country! Keep up the 1's and 2's 💪

[@ralphanator4]

I miss Stan and Jared. Sucks they're missing the nicest part of the trip so far !

[@benstevenson1507]

A little Guus side channel would go down very well

[@jephson2023]

Ghana looks incredible!

[@iilu]

16:53 Is giving big "I just felt like running!" Forrest Gump vibes 😂

[@garethrendle5371]

More of James' football commentator impressions please

[@youme1414]

Thank you, sirs.

[@PittPacks]

How does this channel not have a million subs by now

[@Nooticus]

Literally ^

[@RicoAndJodie]

Also finally the free stuff you guys deserved

[@NamelesshunterGaming]

Yes Guus caravans are named after the original caravans

[@esgee3829]

it must be said, the slow cadence of james' speaking voice made me initially think he was a moron, much as i think of nearly all varieties of the average american southern white accent. but he isn't. probably provides the best interviews of russ, highly articulate and contextulizes the trip for viewers in a way that nobody else has so far. color me impressed.

[@sierra_mastra]

There are studies which show the Birmingham "Brummy" accent is the most discriminated against in job interviews as it's seen as less intelligent. Brummies are of course just as intelligent as anyone else though and the accent grows on you

[@Fray-Bentos]

I love the way Russ almost spits his name at the camera in every opening scene.... .Makes me howl... Legend "My name is RUSS COOK *hits you in the face*

[@QforzFovfi]

Makes my day every time. He's using it almost like an expletive.

[@Fray-Bentos]

@@QforzFovfi hahaha exactly! It's amazing!

[@EJproductionsxD]

Great episode!

[@robspunk]

Gus IS the Bees Knees!

[@maximhargreaves1547]

I believe it is God (universe) that drives you to do these things Russ ✌️ let's raise that 1M big ones

[@morkmon]

Ghana seems so nice

[@bc1406]

Ghana looks class

[@mackie_p]

Weren't joking about the 1mil goal!! Lets get it!!!

[@MiamiSammy]

Damn I would go on vacation in Ghana that looked awesome

[@bradley7487]

Your awesome Guus😂

[@lilhyperionlil2521]

Absolute leg end ❤

[@robertduff877]

Gus has grew on me so quickly and is my new favourite over ross

[@607]

I'd completely forgotten Nige!

[@lilme7052]

😢

[@louise7552]

Me too, we're tragic 😢😢

[@tijldeclerck7772]

This makes me want to visit Ghana.

[@Yazelflechv4]

Dont worry Gus, us yanks know what a caravan is

[@lilme7052]

sadly.

[@Lukas-ph9uf]

Guus got major charisma 😍

[@tomrobins_aka_fartinafit]

Go Gus ! And the ginger ninja too of course . . . . . . .

[@alexwagner6717]

Gus aint takin no prisoners with the wisdom

[@wizardry2215]

The true hardest geezer is guss’s stomach

[@oneofmanyjames-es1643]

The King of Stomping returns to conquer more tarmac

[@snorkosaurus]

I like how this is turning into the Russ n' Gus show, or is it Gus n' Russ ?

[@deepsea8676]

bro i love gus hes so sweet

[@KarlOlofsson]

Was wondering when I would get my next fix 😁

[@mynameistechno]

algo comment - i really like gustavos new name

[@tamina5432]

great video!

[@davidfield7572]

Guus and Russ a better love story than twilight!

[@EJproductionsxD]

Could we get some James' backstory? I feel like I still don't really know who he is

[@JivecattheMagnificent]

12:46 What's this in the background, editing Russ to have makeup or what lads?

[@joestacey9977]
